A while back Dominique Boucher, the CTO of  Nu Echo, contributed to a guest post on our blog demonstrating how simple it was to create an IM (Instant Messaging) chat application using the PhonoSDK and Tropo.  Most people still think of Phono as a web phone, but it’s so much more!

Thanks to Christian Reilly, President of The Platform Cloud, we have a step-by-step video to share with you on deploying our Ruby-based Phono/Tropo Voice Dialtone application on CloudFoundry!  CloudFoundry is a new open platform as a service for running your Spring, Rails and Node.js applications.  You can deploy this app on their hosted servers or on your own instance of CloudFoundry like Christian Reilly demonstrates.

We have been receiving an increased level of interest from developers building applications that incorporate both Phono and Tropo technology.  We have also been receiving requests to share more Node.JS powered examples.  We hope to address both of these requests with this post!

It’s been a little more than 4 months since the launch of our PhonoSDK Webphone at the jQuery Conference in Boston. While Web developers have been busy adding phones on web pages all over the Internet, our engineers have been hard at work on our new release internally known as “Echo Smasher”. The day has come to release Echo Smasher (version 0.2) in the wild!

Aaron Parecki of GeoLoqi fame recently used the PhonoSDK to demonstrate moving a map pin on a user’s browser session via an XMPP-based IM chat!  This is a great demonstration of how the PhonoSDK can be used for non-communications applications.

In addition to being able to place and receive SIP-based phone calls to and from our browser using PhonoSDK, you can also use it to interact with XMPP-based IM clients such as GTalk and Jabber using jQuery.
